Chapter 378: Don’t You Recognize This Sister?

As Lu Lingyun's carriage left Guangji Temple, the people in Guangji Temple also dispersed one after another.

Among the dispersing crowd, a woman wearing a Dou-li hat outside the temple looked at the Guangji Temple where people were coming and going in front of her and snorted softly.

In her sight, she could see the golden Buddha temple in front of her and the monks inside who were no longer being paid attention to.

She saw a corner of a monk's robe fluttering. The newly ordained Master Wuxin stood up. In the hall, incense was burning and wooden fish were clicking. When the autumn wind blew up the ashes, she turned around and left among the crowd.

At this time, Master Wu Xin turned his head.

He saw a fleeting figure.

In the blink of an eye, the figure could not be found or distinguished in the crowd.

Just like a drop of water falling into the water.

"Amitabha."

He chanted long Buddhist mantras.

Lu Lingyun and Cheng Qi separated halfway.

Cheng Qi was riding a horse alone on the mountain road.

Before he knew it, he had arrived at the East Courtyard on the outskirts of the Marquis's mansion.

When he saw the East Courtyard, Cheng Qi was stunned.

How did you get here?

I guess he didn't go to many places during the half year he stayed in the capital, but he came here quite often.

Maybe I subconsciously took some familiar routes.

Cheng Qi comforted himself in this way, and turned back holding the horse reins. At this time, a carriage appeared in front of him.

The curtain of the carriage opened, revealing a woman in a goose-yellow long skirt embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns and gold thread.

She lowered her head slightly, revealing half of her delicate and beautiful face.

She had willow-like eyebrows with light smoke, a tall and delicate nose, and red lips. Her eyes moved slightly, and she fell into Cheng Qi's eyes as charmingly as smoke.

"Brother Cheng Qi?" Qin Shaojing called out unexpectedly, his eyes full of surprise.

Cheng Qi looked at the woman in front of him. She was much more mature than she was seven years ago, but also more charming. When he first met her, she was as noble and lively as a fairy from heaven. But seven years later, she was like a peony in full bloom, rich and charming.

What Cheng Qi couldn't ignore was the gleam of surprise in her eyes.

The light suddenly flashed into his heart.

Qin Shaojing...was she surprised to see herself again?

Why was she so surprised?

Is she the same as him...having never forgotten him in these seven years?

Cheng Qi's dead heart began to beat again.

"Brother Cheng Qi, it's really you." Qin Shaojing had already stepped down from the carriage. She looked at the man riding the tall horse in front of her. His skin was much darker and rougher than it was seven years ago, which showed that the weather at the border was indeed bitterly cold.

Fortunately, she didn't do anything stupid and go to such a poor place with him.

Qin Shaojing's gaze fell on Cheng Qi's sharp eyes. His eyes looked deeper than a few years ago, but...

"I just thought I was seeing things. How did you get here?"

Qin Shaojing's words immediately brought Cheng Qi back to his senses. He lowered his head and met Qin Shaojing's bright eyes.

He couldn't help but move his head to the side, "Just walking around, just happened to pass by."

After he finished speaking, Qin Shaojing said in a disappointed tone, "It turns out that I was just walking around. I thought Brother Cheng Qi also remembered this place like me. But this place is..."

"What?"

"Nothing." Qin Shaojing forced a smile. Her eyes were like a thread, which fell on Cheng Qi's eyes for a second and then quickly moved away.

This only made Cheng Qi feel uneasy. He wanted to ask Qin Shaojing what happened right now, but the events of a few years ago were still fresh in his mind.

Qin Shaojing is already a married woman, so it's not his turn to care about her anymore.

After a lot of ups and downs in his heart, Cheng Qi frowned, his face turned cold, and he looked at Qin Shaojing coldly, "It's good that nothing happened. I have something else to do. I'll leave first."

No matter what he said, it was inappropriate after all. He couldn't tell anyone. Asking or telling anyone would only cause trouble. Cheng Qi chose to leave.

When he was about to leave, Qin Shaojing called out, "Brother Cheng Qi."

"Do you have anything else to say?" Cheng Qi immediately looked at her with a cold face.

"Since we are already here, why don't we go to the East Courtyard together?" Qin Shaojing looked at the East Courtyard in front of him, "Brother Cheng Qi helped me a lot here back then, I always remember it."

After Qin Shaojing said this, Cheng Qi was unable to dismount his horse and was unable to move forward or backward.

On the one hand, he wanted to go in with Qin Shaojing and walk around inside, but on the other hand, Qin Shaojing was married now and it was not suitable.

At this time, Nanny Qin stepped forward with a smile and said, "It turned out to be Second Master! I'm glad that Second Master has returned to Beijing. Our eldest lady has been missing you all these years!"

Cheng Qi: “!!”

It was as if something had fallen into his heart, hitting him in the chest all of a sudden.

Qin Shaojing has actually been thinking about him all these years!

This......

"Brother Cheng Qi, don't listen to Nanny Qin's nonsense. I just treat you as my brother. I miss you and go to the border battlefield, and I'm worried about your safety." Qin Shaojing quickly denied.

Nanny Qin also hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, I was wrong. Our eldest lady has always treated you as a brother and was concerned about your safety, not anything else! Now, you are finally back safely, otherwise our eldest lady would be really worried to death!"

After hearing this, Cheng Qi looked at Qin Shaojing and said, "Thank you Shao...Mrs. Liu for your concern."

He spoke, his tone very polite and distant.

Especially the last title, which pulled the two people apart.

No matter what, he must always remember it.

Qin Shaojing listened to Cheng Qi's blunt words and looked at Nanny Qin again. Nanny Qin looked at Cheng Qi with a smile on her face, "Second Master, why are you calling us Miss so strangely? It's better to call us by the old name."

Cheng Qi shook his head. "Before Madam Liu was married, we were considered as a brother and sister. Now, it is inconvenient to call her that."

"Look at what you said. No matter what, you are still our eldest lady's brother! At least our eldest lady has always treated you as a brother. Could it be that now that you have risen to prominence, you look down on our eldest lady, your younger sister?"

"How is this possible!"

"That's it." Nanny Qin looked at him with a smile, "You two brothers and sisters have finally reunited, why don't you go for a walk in the East Courtyard?"

Nanny Qin kept calling them brother and sister, saying how much Qin Shaojing missed his brother, as if Cheng Qi had become a disloyal person if he didn't go to the East Courtyard with Qin Shaojing today.

Cheng Qi was no longer stiff when he heard this. He turned over and dismounted, and said frankly, "In this case, let's go in and take a walk together."

Qin Shaojing glanced at him and gave him a big smile.

Cheng Qi was dazzled by her smile once again. He suppressed the uneasy throbbing in his heart and glanced away coldly.
